Welcome, Martha! You will find lots of support here. These mystery quilts are lots of fun and they usually proceed in a few weeks and not more than 2 months. We take pictures of our finished products and post them at the end. It is great to see the variety!

I think you will find Nana's instructions easy to read and clear. Also you can email with questions and pictures and you will get a response. The only aspect that is not revealed until the end is the whole pattern.

I just joined and have never done any sort of mystey quilt before - should prove to be very interesting. I can't wait to get started!! Is there anything I need to do or purchase prior to this starting?

well, now I can't remember which board I saw this item on but I made two of these, one for me and one for my co-worker who did the felted wool piece for me. Easy to make and look so cute and are very handy. called a weighed pincushion, can just google it to find. the little wastebasket is for your threads and odds and ends material. It attaches with the button and then can be emptied when full. only about 10 inches long, so doesn't take alot of space. I jsut used some scrap material I had on hand, takes about 1/2 yd.

I am new to this site but really would like to try this mystery quilt. I have only been doing quilts since I retired (2 yrs). I love doing the tops but have not learned how to actually quilt them.I have quilted a wall hanging and it turned out real good. So, i'm going to put my foot pout and take a HUGH step am try this Mystery Quilt.

I, too, am new to MQs. However, I am willing to try anything once. Who knows? Perhaps I will become a star MQer. Please let me know if I need to do anything else to start this adventure, or is replying to you sufficient?
